personalities of the Revolutionary War in South

The South Carolina Encyclopedia Guide to the
American Revolution in South Carolina details the people, places, and struggles that defined the
region's prominent role in the path to American liberty from British authority. Nearly 140 battles
of the American Revolution were fought in South Carolina, more than in any other colony. As America's
first civil war, the revolution pitted Loyalists against partisans and patriots in the fierce combat that
established the legacies of figures such as Francis
Marion, Nathanael Greene, Peter Horry, Henry and
John Laurens, Daniel Morgan, and Andrew Jackson.
In addition to profiling these leaders, this guide also
chronicles the major combat operations, including
the battles of Ninety Six, Cowpens, Camden, Kings
Mountain, and Charleston Harbor. Also documented
are the vital contributions of African Americans
and Native Americans in the struggle and the roles
of Revolutionary War heroines such as Kate Barry,
Emily Geiger, Rebecca Brewton Motte, and Dorcas
Nelson Richardson. The origins of the South Carolina
state flag and seal in the war are detailed as well in this
treasure trove of fascinating information for students
and historians of the American Revolution.
